Product Information
History books record August 28, 1963, as the day when over a quarter-million people rallied in Washington, in the first-ever nationally televised demonstration--when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his iconic I Have a Dream oration. But as Charles Euchner reveals in Nobody Turn Me Around, the march's significance is more surprising and complex than standard treatments allow. With rich oral histories from over one hundred participants--high-profile civil rights leaders but also ordinary Americans, like the marcher who won a train ticket after enduring a brutal jailing--Euchner offers a vivid tale of that day. Nobody Turn Me Around shows the movement at its apex, on the verge of achieving historic reform--and decline. The book shows James Farmer watching the march from his jail cell; Malcolm X's secret vow to help the march, while mocking it from the sidelines; how King really wrote his landmark address; the controversy over John Lewis's damning speech; and devastating undercurrents involving JFK and J. Edgar Hoover. Each scene comes alive in this richly intimate account of the peak of the civil rights era.

Reviews
"A sweeping, comprehensive look at a pivotal march in American history." -Vanessa Bush, Booklist "A short but dynamic account of the landmark 1963 protest march that ended with Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review "This compelling history of the march on Washington is accessible to general readers, who will be moved at the emotional heights of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech. Those who enjoy popular history will find much to like here, and students will appreciate the original research." - Library Journal "Charles Euchner has turned the March on Washington into a 'people's history.' Compelling and dramatic, this book is an important contribution." -Juan Williams, author of Eyes On The Prize: America's Civil Rights Years, 19541965 and news analyst for NPR and FOX News "The March on Washington was a demand to make the Constitution of the United States work for black people-to cash the blank check, as Dr. King put it that day in the best speech of his life. Nobody Turn Me Around -Charles Euchner's superb book-brings it all back in vivid detail." -Roger Wilkins, author of Jefferson's Pillow: The Founding Fathers and the Dilemma of Black Patriotism "As was true of the historic March on Washington in 1963, so it is true of Charles Euchner's riveting new chronicle of the event: the massive human train of proud and determined Americans-ordinary, salt-of-the-earth citizens-is the heart and soul of this dramatic and inspiring story. Now, more than forty-five years later, those same people stride through Euchner's narrative as if it were a march in progress. The stars are here too, of course-Martin Luther King, Bayard Rustin, Roy Wilkins, John Lewis, and more-but the pages crackle and vibrate with the voices of unsung heroes who drove, flew, rode buses and trains, hitchhiked, even walked long distances to be there in the Great Emancipator's stone shadow as Dr. King spun out his immortal 'Dream.'" -John Egerton, author of Speak Now Against the Day: The Generation Before the Civil Rights Movement in the South " Nobody Turn Me Around brings important new insight to the story of the 1963 March on Washington. We see the Harlem Unity Rally, Malcolm X's bitter answer to the historic events in D.C., the escalating violence in the South and the movement's expansion to northern cities, and the genius of Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin's organizing strategies. The book also settles the question of how Martin Luther King Jr. came to utter his iconic words about the dream-and shows how King used the speech to arouse his followers and neutralize the extremes of white racism and black separatism. Vivid storytelling at its best." -Alex Heard, author of The Eyes of Willie McGee: A Tragedy of Race, Sex, and Secrets in the Jim Crow South "Nearly fifty years after the March on Washington, Charles Euchner has brought that historic event back to life by presenting a panorama of vivid characters, torn by discord over tactics yet united in their determination to shame a timorous government into stamping out Jim Crow." -Curtis Wilkie, author of Dixie: A Personal Odyssey Through Events That Shaped the Modern South, "As was true of the historic March on Washington in 1963, so it is true of Charles Euchner's riveting new chronicle of the event: The massive human train of proud and determined Americans-ordinary, salt-of-the-earth citizens-is the heart and soul of this dramatic and inspiring story. Even more than the planners, the leaders and the big-name personalities, it was the tens of thousands who dropped everything for a peaceable assembly at the Lincoln Memorial that made this happening significant and memorable. Now, more than forty-five years later, those same people stride through Euchner's narrative as if it were a march in progress. The stars are here too, of course-Martin Luther King, Bayard Rustin, A. Philip Randolph, Roy Wilkins, John Lewis and many more-but the pages crackle and vibrate with the voices of unsung heroes who drove, flew, rode buses and trains, hitchhiked, even walked long distances to be there in the Great Emancipator's stone shadow as Dr. King spun out his immortal 'Dream.'" -John Egerton, author ofSpeak Now Against the Day: The Generation Before the Civil Rights Movement in the South "Charles Euchner has turned The March on Washington into a 'people's history.' Compelling and dramatic, this book is an important contribution." -Juan Williams, author ofEyes On The Prize - America's Civil Rights Years, 1954-1965, and news analyst for NPR and FOX News"On the Mall in Washington, on a beautiful but blazing hot day in August 1963, an outpouring of thousands gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial. The people who were speaking were Christians and Jews and labor and civil rights leaders, black and white together. The message to the administration and the American people was that the problem wasn't limited to lunch counters or integrated schools. The March on Washington was a demand to make the Constitution of the United States work for black people-to cash the blank check as Dr. King put it that day in the best speech of his life.NobodyTurn Me Around-Charles Euchner's superb book-brings it all back in vivid detail." -Roger Wilkins, author ofJefferson's Pillow: the Founding Fathers and the Dilemma of Black Patriotism"Nobody Turn Me Aroundbrings important new insight to the story of the 1963 March on Washington.
